All sounds fantastic! That burger…and Bill’s. I too need to negotiate a trip to Sydney!

Ed, you’re right – DTF didn’t have much of a range of dumplings (I’ve just checked out the East Ocean yum cha menu and it looks pretty extensive, and mouthwatering) but I really just wanted some XLB, and DTF’s hit the mark. Will have to check out East Ocean next time (and get back to Shanghai fairly promptly for proper XLB immersion!).

Din Tai Fung is okay but isn’t the best place for dumplings. I prefer East Ocean. Sounds like you had a great anyway.

RR – next time we’ll definitely have to get two of the sushi platters (and two sashimi!). The Ritz cocktail was fab – I could certainly spend some time working my way through that drinks list. I liked the feel of Jimmy Liks (although not crazy about the name) and my drink there felt like a good start to the Busshari-fest.

Daniel – I was tempted to return to Bill’s on day two to have a serve of the hotcakes all to myself, but they don’t really fall into the “Milky Way” category of snack and I needed to save my appetite for Zumbo. Somebody gave me a Bill’s book, so I eagerly thumbed through it for the hotcakes and fritters recipes… but he’s no fool! There is a fritter recipe in the “dinner” section, which is probably fairly close to the ones I had, but nothing that will help me recreate those fluffy hotcakes. Looks as though another trip up is definitely in order.

Reemski – Awesome to catch up and looking forward to seeing you in March. Enjoy that goosefest!

The last time the other half and I were in Sydney, we didn’t make it to Bills. But we did make it to Bills 2. I have to say, it was one time when the hype around his breakfast was justified – so much so that we made a return trip the following day.

It was a fantastic few days, and gave me the opportunity/motivation to try some places that I had heard about. I am still thinking about that delicious Ritz Champagne cocktail from the Victoria Room. Also I thought the cocktail at Jimmy Liks was not as good.

Busshari I am still dreaming about that sushi, and seriously could eat the sushi plate to myself. Oh yes Zumbo I have to show restraint and not drive over there too often.

Look forward to seeing you soon.
